Well on vacation I have actually looked into portable programs. They are programs that you can run off a flash stick. This means that there is no installing necessary on the system. There are quite a few programs found
http://portableapps.com/ as well as on other sites. I have used firefox, GAIM, and a few others with no complaints.

Looking through there, there's a link to
Mac-on-Stick which brings back fond memories of working on the Mac Classic with it's 6 inch built-in screen.
They don't have their Linux section built yet in the OS category, but I hope they include
Darn* Small Linux which can be run inside windows. It takes a pretty hefty machine to run both at once, but it's pretty cool when it works.
